Fun Thread! Favorite Soap Couples Ever?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I don't know if these types of threads are usually done here; but with how dreadful the soaps have become I thought we could reminisce. Daytime has almost NO good couples right now, so I thought this might be fun! Which couples had you tuning in everyday? Which ones do you miss?

 

Here are my personal favorites:

 

5.Josh and Reva(GL)

4.Mason and Julia(SB)

3.Steve and Kayla(DOOL)

2.Luke and Laura(GH)

1.Jason(SBu) and Sam(GH)

 

Honorable mentions:

Jack and Carly(ATWT)

Tom and Margo(ATWT)

Greg and Jenny(AMC)

Tad and Dixie(AMC)

Bo and Nora(OLTL)

John and Marlena(DOOL)

Bo and Hope(DOOL)

Doug and Julie(DOOL)

Sonny and Brenda(GH)

Cass and Frankie(AW)

Ridge and Brooke(B&B)

80's & 90's Victor and Nicki(Y&R)

I haven't watched much daytime outside of Y&R, B&B and AW until recent years, so my list is probably a little generic, but anyway:

 

Ridge and Taylor (B&B, pre-2005)

Lauren and Michael (Y&R)

Cass and Frankie (AW)

Erica and Dimitri (AMC)

Bo and Hope (Days)

Dru and Neil (Y&R)

Sharon and Nick (Y&R)

What is generic about people discussing their likes? Current state of daytime leaves us with little positive things to discuss. Talking about favorite couples THAT WE HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN not just read about is our prerogative. 

 

SFT...Cagney/ Suzi, Liza/ Kentucky, Liza /Travis

 

LOV... Jack/Stacey

            Alex/Egypt, Alex /Ava

              Shana/Dane

               Kate/Louie

 

AW    Cass and Cecile    comedic gold,  -- NF was way too talented to be let go

 

CAP   Kelly/Trey

TD   Nick/Althea

I'm more interested in the whys of people's favorites instead of seeing a list of favorites with no reasoning behind why they like whomever even if it is I like couple A because I found them hot, I liked couple B because I found them funny, and couple C would make me cry.  (I don't know if I'm explaining what I mean, but that's just my preference.)

Most of my favorite couples I enjoy because I get emotional feelings in a lot of different ways and not just liking them for heat.

haha I probably should have elaborated. My exposure to Daytime is not as extensive as I'd ideally like it to be, I'm not so sure as to how many we got out here in Australia besides Days, AW, Y&R and B&B. A lot of other gems are still a working progress. AMC's a new favourite though. Oh, the joys of YouTube.

    • I'm trying to think whether AW had anything remotely resembling that once Steve was killed off and Alice left a widow. So many young love stories were wrapped up either by marrying and leaving town or marrying and killing off one party. Maybe they acted in the final year as if Vicky and Jake had been that couple all along, but they both had better other mates along the way and also Jake was actively hostile to Vicky at too many points without any subtext of caring about her.

      ️, so all the more time to watch/rewatch these past three scorching episodes. What were some of your favorite moments? @beyondthegatescbs            
    • Beth Ehlers thanked Beth Chamberlain by name from the mic saying she was THE BEST person to be in a triangle with.  Generally speaking I loved Judi's Beth but then also strongly liked BethC's Beth but I did not like the whole Lorelei stage!!! 
    • Yep, it seemed temporary, lasted 3-5 minutes, then BACK! Yea.  Thanks. 
    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
    • I hate to be that person, but Monday’s episode was a mess. The editing was an eyesore—felt like multiple scenes got chopped mid-way through. Anita’s singing was completely over the top. And while TT can sing, something about her performance just felt off—her voice was actually kind of grating   Leslie’s motivations make zero sense, unless we’re supposed to believe she just thrives on chaos. Her smirking while her daughter got locked out? That was straight-up cartoon villain territory. Once again, the Duprees came off like a full-on mob—especially the girls, who acted more like petty mean girls than anything else. And don’t get me started on Kat and Eva. Their dialogue was repetitive and totally unrealistic. “We have opposite fairy tales”? Seriously? Give me a break.(not that literally though, I want my episodes daily!!)

    • Thanks. I'd forgotten about that. It is odd she wasn't asked back. Maybe they just gave up.  Harley/Philip is one of those relationships which lingered on longer than it should have. I never got the sense the show had any great interest in them together beyond the first six months or so, and there was little to no chemistry between them after that point.
    • If Leslie wanted to be super shady

    • I am just so happy with the new writing. Everything feels so much more mature. The connections between plots and characters reminds me of the eighties, and I just plain old LIKE everybody. I very much enjoyed Philip's apology tour with his two exes, and both of them being gracious to him. This version of Philip is so interesting, very flawed, but trying to do better, and I do believe he wanted the brother bond with Xander very much and is hoping to get that back. Speaking of brothers, we got Xander's first ever mention of his other brother, Bo. And how interesting that Titan is also working on a cure for sepsis. If the one with Dr Russell falls through we have a back up plan. And the seamless writing continued with Sarah trying to get out of a conference and Kayla needing to get Dr Russell out of town, I love when things just make sense like that. Shout out to Xander with cucumbers on his eyes lol And under the new regime I am not hating Stalex. I think this couple was just hammered by Ron by constantly making them sleep with other people. It was hard to root for them when the writer didn't care about them as a pairing, just about getting Rob naked. I am happy to see what happens here too. Stefan got a get well card to EJ? I wonder if it had a coded HELP ME in the message. Glad Kayla turned him down. She should never forget how he used Steve as a pawn back in the day. Characters are actually remembering this stuff these days.
